Chunky Christmas Tree

Chunky Christmas Tree pattern

​I used 2 strands of 8ply DK yarn with a 5mm hook, but you could use 2 strands of 10ply worsted and a 6mm hook or just use super chunky yarn and the appropriate hook. Crochet over ends as you go where possible to reduce weaving in ends.

Finished size using 2 strands of 8ply DK yarn and a 5mm hook is approximately 9cm wide and 11 cm high without the loop.
